Boom Town Creamery
Ice cream is always the answer. That’s the motto emblazoned on containers and neon signs at Boom Town Creamery. One taste of their handmade-from-scratch, small-batch ice cream and you’ll agree! Just when you thought there was nothing new that could be done to ice cream, boom! Boom Town did it. With inventive ingredients like goat cheese, balsamic vinegar, juniper, lemon curd, fresh carrot and lemon honey jam swirling in her mind, owner Angela Muir crafts some of the most unique flavor combos you can imagine.
Business is Booming
Just in time for summer, Edmond has its own exciting new spot to chill and indulge in this crave-worthy ice cream. Opened May 4 on 5th Street near downtown, the Edmond Boomtown Creamery is Angela’s third location. Including the first shop in OKC and the second shop in Moore, Angela has opened three shops within a year. In 2017, living in Kansas City, MO, she created Lilo’s Shaved Ice and fell in love with the dessert business. “When we moved to OKC in 2020, I couldn’t seem to find any ice cream that really hit the mark for me,” Angela admits. “There was a shop in Kansas City that we loved. My husband and I would say it wasn’t a date unless we ended up at Betty Rae’s.” Angela decided OKC needed some really good ice cream. “Soon after, I was in New York City learning how to make ice cream with Malcolm Stogo–an ice cream legend who invented Cookies & Cream in 1978,” Angela says. Coincidentally, at that time, she was also reading Boom Town by Sam Anderson. Falling in love with OKC’s rich history, the name of the ice cream shop was born.
Indulge with Intention
Boom Town’s mission is to be a fun place to celebrate life’s every day milestones–a good report card, winning a softball game or just catching up
with a friend as you dig into a pint. With their classic and seasonal flavor line-up, there’s a special taste for every mood and moment. “We are one of the only shops in OKC that serve super-premium ice cream, which is determined by percentage of butter fat,” Angela explains. Everything at Boom Town is made in-house, from the brownies and hot fudge, to the waffle cones and cookies. They use as many local ingredients as possible and no false colors or flavors. From their production kitchen headquarters in OKC, Angela and Chef Kayli Bartnicki brainstorm, test and taste ice cream and release new flavors weekly.
One of the classics, the Chocolate Tornado, is a fan fave. With dark chocolate ice cream, gooey brownies, a fudge swirl and melty chocolate chips, what’s not to love? The Carmelita Crumble with salted caramel ice cream and the Espresso Crunch are other top picks. If you can’t decide what to get, order a flight of six small scoops and try unique options like Cherry Goat with goat cheese ice cream. It’s like cheesecake with a kick, and so good! Or try the strawberry and balsamic vinegar ice cream that will surprise and delight you with its extra zing. Many options are gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan, like the What’s Up Doc with fresh carrot, mint and lime sorbet.
So next time you need a moment of fun or a little indulgence, remember, ice cream is always the answer, and Edmond store manager, Addi Lyon, is happy to serve you! Ask about the new “Turtley Rad” malted vanilla ice cream with chocolate, caramel and pecans–the perfect summer treat!
